Why Do Hardly Any Colleges or Universities Offer ASL as a Language, Let Alone a Minor or Major?

May 24, 2009

Im looking around at colleges and hardly any have a sign language program. I don't get this, since ASLis the most used language in the US after english and spanish, and some colleges have minors in greek. Some places don't even accept it as a foreign language credit. The only places that have majors or minors are in indiana and kentucky and ohio, and im on the east coast.
Why?

To be honest, I don't know why it's not at many colleges like Spanish. I could only guess it's because it's not in high demand for a major in it. Like myself, I want to major in Korean I can all the colleges offering a major in it on one hand.

I went to search for ASL majors and there are some on the east coast.

Gallaudet University (Washington DC)

Gardner-Webb University (Boiling Springs, NC)

Keuka College (Keuka Park, NY)

Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, New York) has a major ASL-English Interpretation not just ASL.

Good luck!
